President and Mrs. Obama hosted a decidedly more subtle state dinner for German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the White House Tuesday evening.
Though Mr. Obama presented Merkel with his highest honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the dinner otherwise lacked the glitz and glamour of the Obama administration-- with one noticeable exception.
First Lady Michelle Obama wore a shimmery ivory sleeveless gown by Naeem Khan, a designer she favors and also donned at the president's first state dinner in 2009.
Naeem Khan gowns retail from $5,000-$15,000.
Khan told the Wall Street Journal the first dress he made for Mrs. Obama was "priceless."
Known for her fashion, Mrs. Obama accessorized Tuesday with gold bangles by Alexis Bittar, which range in cost from $145-$695 per bracelet.

I knew I’d hook somebody with that. LOL
What a frickin' lie. The only thing she is really known for is how to look shI**y in just about anything she wears. Just because something costs a lot of money doesn't mean it looks good.
Those in that part of the honor guard are not Marines.
How crude
Not to mention Palin's wardrobe on the VP campaign trail. Where are all those intrepid news people who were so worried about McCain's campaign money being wasted on Palin's clothes? Aren't they interested in how the first Bozo can afford all the thousands of dollars of clothes she has shown up in since the election?
If you would read the article you would see she wore the dress back in 2009 for the first time. I would say she bought and paid for it with our(taxpayers)money, and the same with all of her other atrocious evening wear.
Well, here is a thought in this case....she wears it, they get the publicity and then when they get that dirty dress back they burn it.
Bozo with too long of a pant and the Wookie with dozens of sweaters that are two sizes too small. Some fashion plates alright.
As I said to another FReeper, read the article, she has had the dress since 2009 when she first wore it. She bought and paid for it and isn't giving it back. You and I paid for it actually, I would bet that she hasn't spent a dime of her own money to buy her clothes.
I don’t see the “design” part of it.
Miss Pelosi appears to be wearing a breastfeeding gown with easy access flaps. Who the heck is feeding from her cold boobs?
I think it’s a lovely dress and it suits her. But why is she playing with it in every picture?
I think the Japanese term is caboose-ski.
Remember the big stink when the McCain campaign used a few thousand dollars to make Sarah Palin look a little more fashionable. The dems demanded a full scale investigation.
Ok, that’s fair. Now lets see if they make a stink about these $5000 gowns and $1000 shoes and $3000 purses that Michelle always seems to be wearing. Where is the money coming for these duds?
Erkle and Cruella DeVille
She looks absolutely hideous in these expensive gowns.
If she didn’t pay for it, then I guess she figured she’d wear whatever random size they gave her. Wasn’t there a media-fluster about Nancy Reagan’s accepting clothing from designers? I’m sure it would be totally different - like everything is - if a Democrat were doing it.
